[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#485793: fglrx-source do not compile on amd64 with 2.6.26 kernel

[Jonathan Dray]

Package: fglrx-source
Version: 1:8-6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The module does not build on amd64 for 2.6.26 kernels.
I must have a 2.6.26 kernel for my laptop to boot properly. (ASUS A7K)


Here are the build error messages :

/firegl_public.o

Using one of the patches provided by users I have successfully build the
module but it does not load :(
